Charlotte’s stories of abuse and neglect by her family go a long way to explain her sometimes peculiar behavior, and she also makes clear how she came to be addicted to drugs. For the first time, readers get a large dose of Charlotte’s point of view as the narrative switches between her and Jamie. Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson spend most of the story angst-ridden, apart from each other, suffering from guilt and anger over the death of August Moriarty at the end of the previous book, The Last of August. What did you like about the book?
